Highlights Dynamics of multi-layer membrane structure with elastic spacers is studied. An optimization criterion to eliminate the crossing modes is proposed. The optimal spacer positions are calculated by Particle Swarm Optimizer algorithm.

    Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the dynamics of space membrane structures. However, existing research primarily focuses on single-layer membrane structures, leaving a significant research gap in the study of multi-layer structures with elastic spacers. To address this gap, this paper studies the dynamics and interlayer spacing accuracy of multi-layer membrane structures with elastic spacers. Specifically, the research focuses on the placement optimization of elastic spacers. A novel optimization criterion for the elastic spacers has been proposed, and the Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) algorithm has been utilized to calculate the optimal spacers positions. Results show that optimally placed elastic spacers can eliminate the crossing modes and improve the interlayer spacing accuracy during vibration.
